The 5-foot-10, 165-pound Jones wanted to inform the Tigers of his decision.

"I wanted to tell them in person," said Jones. "I wanted to tell them that I am committed, that I am going to sign with Auburn."

Jones is the 14th prospect to commit to the Tigers in the 2012 class and second cornerback. Auburn also has a commitment from Creekside (Fairburn, Ga.) four-star corner Joshua Holsey, who committed in May.
